Seriously, WTH? They need to do THE WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY, at least up through the 70s.

I've been digging the hell out of Main Course lately myself.

I wish the Bee Gees had relied a little less on the falsetto during the disco era.

[clive gash]

Bit wearing innit?

[naughty boy]

I don't know. I can't hear 'Staying Alive' any other way. Not sure I'd want to, either.

A mixed bag of an album, but with a couple of lovely, lovely high points...

The more I think about it, the more I think of Saturday Night Fever as "their Da Capo." Approximately a side's worth of amazing new original compositions ("Stayin' Alive", "Night Fever", "How Deep Is Your Love", "More Than A Woman"...Yvonne Elliman's version of "If I Can't Have You"), followed by...well, I tend to think of the likes of "Disco Inferno" ... etc. as "Revelation".

What the ..?

'Disco Inferno' is glorious, and among the best tunes on the SNF soundtrack.

One of the great disco tunes full stop. Nothing to do with The Bee Gees of course.

Which can only be a good thing.

i have one track from Trafalgar on my pre SNF Bee Gees playlist.

it is this one:



A work of beauty.

For BCB reference my playlist is:

If I Only Had My Mind On Something Else
One Minute Woman
Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You
Cucumber Castle
To Love Somebody
I Close My Eyes
I Can't See Nobody
Please Read Me
Kilburn Towers
The Greatest Man in the World
I've Gotta Get A Message To You
Massachusetts
With The Sun In My Eyes
In The Morning
Melody Fair
First Of May
You'll Never See My Face Again
Sound of Love

i'm sure you'll agree there is not a duffer on there.

[Colonel Blink]

please remember the bee gees.

[Perpendicular]

lest BCB ever forgets.

I heard Spirits Having Flown for the first time recently.

It's pretty dismal, apart from the closing track. Any defenders?

[Matt Wilson]

It's a disco album, what do you want?

I have been playing a lot of this Robin Gibb set recently. he really was a very unusual vocal stylist, and an interesting writer. He was a bit quaint really, but I love his stuff. Very under appreciated.
